    "Former Apple Store manager ... 2010-2012". So almost 10 years ago the guy worked for Apple. The crime he is accused of has zero to do with Apple. And wow, the police searched his devices that happened to be Apple devices.

    Kind if a typical media move to slot something in that barely has a connection to the actual topic.
    Anything remotely negative related to Apple is high value clickbait.
    I don’t think it’s that bad.  I think it’s more “anything remotely RELATED to apple is high value clickbait”
    I didn’t get any sense that this article was trying to make Apple look bad—most of the blurbs actually make Apple the hero...

  • Apple 'AirTags' slightly larger than US half-dollar coin, says leaker

    Would it make sense to expect this tech to be included in AirPod cases in the future?

    I’m not saying this is a made up story,  but I have to say this is really hard to believe.  But amazing for sure.
    Watch the video above your post--its an incredible story, but not likely one made up...

    I’m not in the market for an iMac, but I’m dying to see what the M1X/M2 in my next MBP is going to look like...

  • Intel takes aim at Apple, instead shoots itself in the dongle

    I hope it wakes the morons at Apple up.
    My 2020 Mac Book pro barely qualifies as pro.
    A "pro computer" that I need a dongle to hook up to an external projector, monitor or ethernet.
    A pro computer that ditched the brilliant mag safe power cable.
    A pro computer than no longer allows me to stick an SD card in it.
    A pro computer that requires a dongle to connect a USB A jump drive- the industry standard way of walking files.

    And- they gouge me on the price of RAM, Storage by 3 to 10x what everyone else charges.
    With no user replaceable parts- and barely serviceable.

    And that was my Intel machine.
    Now- my M1 MacMini- can't connect to my Drobo- which is a 72 TB paperweight.
    Gee - thanks Apple.
    So what you are saying is “I am a pro user who didn’t bother to do a single bit of research before making an important purchase for my business.”
    Buy the computer that will work best for you and your workflow. If the machine Apple makes won’t work well for you, why the hell did you buy it?
